Default Slug and Snail infestation

I have never know them so prolific, many of my seedlings are being

this, normally I rarely see a snail. Where are the thrushes when I need
them?


They are a pestilence, and they crunch under foot when walking along the
paths (snails that is). I've only seen a few slugs, the big orange kind,
but no doubt they're there.
